i like spriting!it makes me think that every failure gets crippled and dies!

Here are some tips:

1. Use PNG, it works better
2. Eliminate floating pixels
3. Try not to edit the parts too much
4. MAKE YOUR IMAGES ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THE POKEMON

Once you can do those 4 things, try entering my contest. I only have two entrants so far.

i agree with mektar but yeah they r pretty good, just want to add that some of the coloring could use alittle improvement

Yeah, these are great...but yeah, you should also really listen to Mektar's 4. cause that way you won't be breaking any forum rules pertaining to image size plus regardless it is really just too large from a landscape (width) perspective...wow...
